SwiMP3 underwater music player

Here’ a nifty underwater audio solution that spells everything CLEAR. The SwiMP3 device uses bone vibration techniques to make underwater music clear to the ear. Since I don’t know anything about swimming (except that if you don’t swim, you drown and die) I’ll let Scott explain it:
The SwiMP3 is revolutionary in that it relies on bone conduction of sound. When the device is placed on any bones of the skull (i.e. the cheek bones or the mastoid tip) it leads to vibration of the fluid in the inner ear. Thus swimmers can enjoy clarity of sound with the SwiMP3 device that was never before possible. Bone conduction hearing is a safe, well-established hearing mechanism in humans that the SwiMP3 player leverages to enhance aquatic activity.
